• How can one cure meningitis?

I was just diagnosed with viral meningitis, and the doctors are saying that I can't use antibiotics because they're not effective in these cases. How can I cure meningitis? Is there a cure?

Our immune system is well equipped to react to viral infections, so supportive care with iv fluids, correction of electrolyte abnormality and rehab is often helpful.
